NBAPA Awards honor Westbrook and Collison:
Short of winning a title this past season couldn’t have gone much better for Russell Westbrook. Despite losing his long time partner the Brodie accepted the unfathomable challenge to make OKC relevant with virtually a completely new team. Though the Thunder were devoid of a super team roster Westbrook seized the reigns, delivering as close to a perfect season as we may ever see by a single individual in our lifetime.
